Knight in shadows
Meanwhile on the other hand Nathalie went back to the room, leaving Khal with his grandpa. Old Lancaster felt like someone had poured life within him once again..
And surprisingly Khal was getting along with him so easily, they both played cards afterwards and then grandpa offered him a duel of chess. Nathalie was surprised that her son even knew how to play these games, but she recalled that Diego was a master level player in both the games.
Sure enough there was no doubt that Khal was their son, Nathalie spent an hour seeing both of the men playing and chatting with each other. Grandpa Lancaster made Khal successfully chat and mingle in without feeling alienated because he was adopted by the family.
Although Khal had already said that he was aware of his parents but he did not voice out a question which would be the nightmare to Nathalie. Why did she give him up to an orphanage when she could have let him in her home hidden from everyone?
The lady could see happiness and calmness over Khal’s face as she saw him winning the chess and trapping grandpa Lancaster easily. The man had gew rusty and his techniques were not working anymore but he played with Khal and the young boy brought the sleeping player out of him.
Khal himself seemed to enjoy his company since Nathalie had to treat Lucas who had been behaving grumpy ever since Nathalie had been nearly ignoring him.
She left the duo and went towards the room while looking for Lucas, Nathalie was happy that he brought Khal and came in just at the right time since she needed him to be there instead of Sandro.
“Oh, where did he go?”
She closed the door and went towards the other arcade to look for him, Lucas used to spend more time in that room all alone.
Although Nathalie never questioned him, she did not suspect him cheating on her either. After all she was confident enough that Lucas would never leave her because of her looks.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Well if not that then he probably would never dcirce her because of her riches! Well, only if she had known that he was not after her for known or because she was a pretty woman.
There were plenty of women of every age waiting for him to wave at them or at least have a dance with the mighty Lucas Petrakis. But he never attended those parties and turned down every such meeting where he had to appear publicly exposing his face and then inviting the storm of the people to his life.
Nathalie searched the whole villa and Lucas was nowhere to be found when she went towards the front lawn and saw him there. The lady leaped towards him and wrapped her arms around his torso, Lucas had ended the call but was staring out at the wall blankly.
Nathalie’s touch brought him back to the present and he knew that only that woman was allowed and daring enough to touch him in an intimate way. The man turned around but asked out to her, since the female kitchen staff who dated to kiss Lucas was already fired.
“Are you fine, dera?”
Lucas teased her knowing that Nathalie had been giving him hugs often and been treating him far better than she used to do. On their honeymoon she confessed to him and then showed him the darkest deepest truth which she had been hiding successfully from all the world since many years.
Lucas was happy that she had finally considered him a great and biggest part of her life. But was he himself ready to share his secrets and his identity with her? Probably not.
But do you think the things would get worse or better if lucas showed her his true self and would come to know that Lucas arrived in her life on the basis of a lie. Do you remember that park scene when Lucas lied to her about his friend having cancer?
“Definitely, more than fine.”
Nathalie Lancaster inhaled deeply with the man who had been with her since the beginning. Lucas turned around and hugged her within just one pull, Nathalie chucked softly at his eagerness.
“Thank you, thank you for being my knight, partner, lover and a great person.”
She lifted her face with her chin resting on his chest, Lucas smiled at her and hushed in a raspy tone while he leaned in and tucked his nose with hers.
“I promised to be your shadow!”
Nathalie lifted herself up and kissed his lips, the wind blowing to brush against their entwined body to make sure they both enjoyed a heavenly sight with each other.
Whereas on the other hand Khal and old Lancaster saw them both from the window of the lounge and the old man hugged the little boy with happiness. And a satisfied chuckle resonated.
